| − | As the guardian of the Tower of Spirits, Anjean plays a major role in the game, providing both Link and Zelda with helpful advice on how to help restore the Spirit Tracks and destroy the [[Malladus]], the Demon King, once and for all. She is also the character that supplies most of the background information about the [[Lokomo]], the [[Spirit Flute]], and the Spirit Tracks. One of Anjean's most notable abilities is her skill to telepathically communicate with others, which she does with frequency to aid the young heroes in their quest. |

| − | Anjean is first introduced in the game after Link and Zelda arrive to the Tower of Spirits for the first time. Here, she elaborates to the young duo how Malladus is being imprisoned by the use of the energy that the Spirit Tracks provide between the tower and the four temples, keeping the Demon King's prison in tact.<ref>{{cite|It's not chains or bars that keep him imprisoned, but an energy that flows between the tower and the four temples that surround it.|Anjean|Spirit Tracks}}</ref> Moreover, she reveals that in order for Malladus to truly resurrect, he needs Princess Zelda's physical body to act as a vessel.<ref>{{Cite|Of course, in order to resurrect Malladus, they need one other key ingredient...

But there is a way to restore energy to the rail maps. You can ask my people to help you.|Anjean|Spirit Tracks}}</ref> She then lends to Link and Zelda the [[Spirit Flute]], which is one of the sacred instruments needed to restore the tracks, as well as the Spirit Train to help them travel easily between realms.<ref>{{cite|No, you two will have needof it.

Anjean, ashamed of his recent actions since the spirits sent them to protect the land, calls him an "unworthy apprentice", for no matter how many times she corrected his behavior, he would never listen to her.<ref>{{cite|I always suspected this day would come.

Event Procedure
The trading sequence is available after Link shows Zelda's Letter to the soldier guarding the entrance to Death Mountain. Link then goes to Hyrule Castle Town and starts the sidequest by talking to the Happy Mask Salesman at the Happy Mask Shop located in the Market.
Link can borrow a mask from the shop which he must sell, and once it has been sold, he must come back and pay for the mask in the shop again. Link must sell one mask before he can get the next mask. The young hero can get 8 different masks from the Happy Mask Shop once he has sold enough of them. When he sells the first four masks, he can borrow one mask and have it for as long as he wants, but he can only have one mask at a time. The sequence is as follows:
- The first mask Link has to sell is the Keaton Mask. The guard standing near the Death Mountain Trail in Kakariko Village will buy this off of Link.
- The second mask is the Skull Mask, where Link must talk to the Skull Kid through the trunk to the left in the Lost Woods.
- The next mask is the Spooky Mask. Link must speak to the kid at the Kakariko Graveyard during the day while wearing the mask.
- The last mask is the Bunny Hood. The man running around Hyrule Field will buy this mask off of Link. The running-man can be best caught while he is resting at night.
With the first four masks sold, the Happy Mask Salesman allows Link to freely use the other four, although they cannot be sold, neither can the other masks for a second time:
Aftermath
- With the Skull Mask, Link can win a prize in the Forest Stage: A Deku Stick upgrade.
- With the Mask of Truth, which has the ability to decode the messages of the Gossip Stones, can also be used for a prize in the Forest Stage: A Deku Nut upgrade. A word of caution: This must be done before taking the Master Sword in the Temple of Time, or it will be unobtainable forever.
